Did the lord get rid of poverty and become rich today?

Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, when the northern continent was not covered by ice and snow, and the southern continent was still in chaos, there were two powerful kingdoms standing in the north.

The dwarf kingdom at the foot of the snowy mountains in the west has created a brilliant mechanical civilization, while the Stuart kingdom in the east is the most prosperous commercial continent.

Although the two countries border each other, there has been almost no war. They exchange business and share resources.

Later, the arrival of the frozen period made the environment in the northern region worse and worse. The first to suffer was the dwarf kingdom at the foot of the Snow Mountain.

Seeing that the country is going to decline due to various force majeure, and the civilization will soon be unsustainable, the dwarf king thought of his good brother in the east.

So before leading the tribe to leave the north for refuge, the dwarf king found the Lord Stuart.

"Little brother, brother, I am leaving this land to find another way out, seeing that there is no way to survive in the northern continent.

The south side is beating life and death into a mess, if you escape there, you might be caught as a slave too.

It's not that I left you alone without righteousness, there is really no way to drag the family.

However, as a good brother for many years, I decided to give you a copy of the crystallization of our civilization, including some mechanical manufacturing methods and the high-yield cold-resistant seeds we researched.

Knowing that your human homeland is hard to leave, these things should be useful, you should live well!

We plan to go all the way west to explore the way.

If we find a shelter, we will send someone to pick you up to enjoy the blessings.

If we fail... the revival of mechanical civilization depends on you brother! "

Stuart accepted this gift, thinking that he had seen the dawn of hope, and was planning to make a big move to save civilization.

But life is always like this, ups and downs, downs and downs...

The south was unified by the Norman dynasty, and they finally showed their minions to the declining Stuart in the north.

The Stuart family was destroyed, and they were driven to Stormwind with a gift from the dwarf king who didn't have time to use it.

Someone asked, then why is Stormwind still so poor?Why didn't the previous lord take these out?

Of course, it was because the current King Stuart himself had no heirs, and the collateral descendants didn't know much about it.

When the city was broken, the king died for the country, and the army was in turmoil. No one knew what was in that box. It seemed to be very important, so he took it with him.

Coupled with the long time, from generation to generation, it will naturally be forgotten in the long river of time.

If it weren't for the current lord, the wise Duke Joe Stuart accidentally discovered this precious gift while tidying up the warehouse, Storm Neck would not be getting better now.

And the shotgun in Joe's hand came from that generous gift.

……

The above are all made up by Qiao Yi.

But it seems that his lying and deceiving people are not bad.

At least the leaders all showed expressions of sudden realization, and even the elves rubbed their chins thoughtfully.

Apart from

"Nonsense! The great Lord Hobart will not give our precious "Machinery Canon" to despicable, greedy and selfish humans!!"

The short man with long beard woke up at some point, blowing his beard and staring at his eyes, and was jumping and cursing in an extremely discordant boyish voice.

Qiao Yi slapped the head of the dwarf who was jumping in front of him, lowered his eyes and bared two sharp little canine teeth: "As the only remaining blood of the Stuart family, I say there is one!"

"My wife, grandpa, and grandfather once served as the guards of King Hobart, and we have never heard of gift giving!"

But Qiao Yi suddenly bent over, looked straight into the dwarf's eyes, and raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Then you are the dwarf who is said to have disappeared from the mainland? The one at the entrance of the spider cave is your clansman, right?"

"...I, I." The dwarf, who was surprised that he had slipped his words, shook his hands, pulled off a large beard, and rolled his eyes: "We are not dwarves. We are dwarves, dwarfs!"

"The dwarfs live in the wetlands of the south. They like heat and humidity and fear dryness and cold. How could they come to the north?" Qiao Yi pinched the dwarf's messy animal skin coat: "Aren't you afraid of freezing to death?"

"The gnomes don't have brown-red hair. The dwarves do." Lancaster silently added a knife to the side.

"Why did the dwarf serve as the dwarf king's bodyguard?" Bill scratched his head with half a cake in his mouth.

dwarf:"……"

Dwarf: "Despicable, shameless and selfish humans! Don't try to change the subject in vain! The dwarves will never give the precious "Machinery Canon" to humans!"

Qiao Yiyi spread his hands: "By the way, you also said that this thing is precious. Of course such a precious thing should be given quietly, and the big fanfare is for fear that others will not come to covet it? If you want everyone to know, then Stuart will not give it away." Has it become the target of public criticism?"

Everyone nodded:

"It makes sense."

"Yes, yes, if a weapon like a shotgun can be made, I really have to worry about others coming to snatch it."

"Hey, the relationship between the two kings is so good, there is nothing wrong with asking Gu for the continuation of civilization~"

"That's right, it would be a pity if such a powerful thing is lost!"

"Speaking of which, the two lords seem to have never married for life, and their relationship is still so good..."

"..."

Seeing that the topic was about to run away in a strange direction, Qiao Yi quickly pulled the rein: "What is this called? A sincere brotherhood that transcends race!"

The citizens echoed:

"That's right, just like the lord and the elf Lancaster!"

"Ah~ I'm so envious of such friendship!"

Joe One: "..."

garlic.

As long as you are happy :)

I'm sorry, Grandfather, your image seems to be starting to become weird...

On the other side, the dwarf had obviously been limped by Joe Yi, and was pulling his beard and lost in thought.

And when he saw the shotgun that Joe Yi deliberately exposed, which was obviously not something that humans could make with the current technology, he felt bad.

"...Is it possible that what he said is true? Did the Lord really give the machine-making technology to humans?"

"Hey, that dwarf, how many people are there in your group? Have you always lived in the Secret Language Mountains?"

Bill bumped the dwarf with his elbow and shared half of the pie: "Do you want to eat?"

"What are your plans! Don't think that you can enslave my group after saving me! Don't even think about it! Even if I, Melo, die today, I won't help humans build things if I jump from here!"

The dwarf jumped up and yelled loudly, then he was shaken by the delicious big pancakes, struggled a bit, and his tone weakened: "...Eat."

"Don't worry, I'm just curious." Bill was not annoyed. He watched the dwarf gobble up the pancakes, and said again: "Haven't you ever thought about moving out of the forest? It's so dangerous inside, and you can farm when you come out. There are also forests on the beach." trading market."

But he choked when he saw the dwarf Melo eating pancakes.

He wiped his face with his dirty sleeve, and said bitterly: "Do you think we don't want to? Who forced us to be like this!"

"If you humans hadn't hunted dwarves everywhere for work, who would hide in the forest and live like a savage?"

"Capture the dwarves? What's going on?" Qiao Yi frowned.

Since the disappearance of the dwarf kingdom in the north, some small groups of dwarves who have drifted to the south have gradually disappeared and disappeared.

Could it be that there is something else hidden?

I saw Melo gnawed the cake in twos and wiped his mouth: "The human kings in the south have been coveting our machine-building technology. Once caught, they will be sent to Reed Island and forced to build weapons and ships for them. Otherwise, how do you think Norman unified the South so quickly?"

As he said that, Mello's stomach made a "gurgling" sound again.

"..." Melo rubbed his belly in embarrassment, and his face flushed: "...Is there any pancakes? I haven't eaten for two days."

"Yes." Bill gave him another piece of pie.

"...Thank you." Melo took it with a red face, biting the pancake, and said vaguely in his mouth: "...you are different from those guys in the south, you are good people."

While speaking, there was a rustling sound in the nearby woods.

It was Lancaster who first noticed something was wrong.

He raised his hand to signal the team to stop, took out an arrow from the arrow basket behind him, put it on the bowstring and pointed at the bushes ahead, and said coldly, "Come out."

The team fell silent, and the atmosphere was a little tense.

Only Melo rushed to the front of the team anxiously, waving his hands and shouting loudly: "Don't! Don't do it! I'm here! They saved me!"

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

The bushes in front swayed, and a few short figures appeared, all holding bows and arrows in their hands, pointing at the crowd.

"Melo! I'm glad you're okay!"

A young man jumped out of the dwarf team, hugged Melo, and looked at him in surprise.

Then frowned:

"What's that on your face?"

Then, "Hiss—", he tore off the beard on Melo's face, revealing a baby face that belonged to a teenager.

Melo rubbed the back of his head and grinned, "I...then what, the great Lord Hobart has such a big beard! A big beard is the symbol of a great hero!"

"Hello, I'm Meg." Shaking his head, the young man pulled his silly younger brother Melo behind him, who was obviously suffering from a second-grade middle school illness, and stretched out his hand towards Joe: "...Thank you for saving him."

"You're welcome, just do as you please." Joe smiled, but didn't reach out: "Now, can you please put down your weapons? Pointing at others like this is very impolite behavior."

"..." Meg looked at Qiao Yi's seemingly gentle smile, pondered for a moment, nodded, and told behind her: "Let's put it down first."

Seeing that the dwarves on the opposite side had put down their weapons, Qiao Yi stretched out his hand, held Meg's, and smiled with a standard eight teeth: "I'm Qiao Yi, Stuart, Qiao Yi."

As a result, the team composed of two races has now become a team of three races.

Through Meg, Qiao Yi also finally learned about the general situation of these dwarves.

This is a small group of dwarves who fled from the south to the north.

They have been living in the dense forest for more than ten years.

A few months ago, a dwarf disappeared inexplicably, and they searched for it for a long time but failed.

Two days ago, Mello also disappeared mysteriously.

It wasn't until this afternoon that the killer spider was cut by Barton and left marks, and the dwarves in charge of finding people followed it all the way to the spider silk cave.

There, they happened to see Qiao Yi and Lancaster enter the cave.

That's why there was a scene where Meg brought people to check the situation, but was discovered by Lancaster.

However, Qiao Yi has always had a small doubt:

"Aren't you forced here by humans? Why aren't you afraid of us? We are humans too."

Meg looked at Joe in surprise, and said:

"Just relying on the storm collar? Our group beat you ten!"

Joe One: ...

Don't poor people lose face? ? ? ? ?

Is my storm leader so poor that even wild (dwarf) people can look down on them? ? ? ? ?

The author has something to say: My mother forgot to bring her ID card when she took the driver's license test :)

On the way to give my mother an ID card, I suddenly figured out one thing, that is why I forgot to bring my ID card when I took the sixth grade exam.

Is it really genetic?
